Shifting between “evolution” and “the theory of evolution” is an etymological distraction. It doesn’t change the substance of the discussion or address a single point I’ve made. I realize you are likely attempting to attack the word "theory" but the soundness of a theory isn’t altered by title phrasing. If there’s a flaw in the mechanism or the evidence, identify it directly. Playing with terminology doesn’t refute anything.

Generally, none of the above.

It's about the lens through which one observes "biological change" and how that change is understood.

In question form: could beginnings (of whatever sort they might be), affect either observed biological changes or how such changes are understood? Could someone 'outside' the theory affect what one observes 'inside' the theory?

NASA can't necessarily control the, eh, "equity pledges" of its contractors, no?

IDK if there's an easy way out or a clear path forward. Most of those contractors are also eaten up with DEI. Yes, NASA could do that, but who would be left to submit design proposals to NASA?

The fact that the theory of evolution makes no claims about how we got here either way suggests you're wrong on the specific topic of evolution, at minimum.

That the theory of evolution wishes to play it safe and run from beginnings is not a strength. It ignores the implication that there might be Someone outside this observed order, that manipulates, perturbates, and yes, even deludes observers.

Edited as follows:

WAS: "evolution"
NOW: the theory of evolution

how a subcontractor has, I guess, "privacy rights" in a governmental contract.

Contractors and their subs can use proprietary materials, etc in their design. NASA will respect that and not disclose it publicly.

Issacman's letter was good. Very good. But at some point, he's gonna have to confront DEI within NASA.

Young Americans males don't want to work too long in construction causing a Labor shortage and why those industries find illegals

There is another side to this. The construction company can hire illegals for lower rates than citizens. Those illegals can work cheaper than citizens - they receive govt programs, they don't purchase insurance, etc. and they send their remittances back home.

The American worker cannot afford to work at such rates.

I knew lots, lots of white people who worked construction 40 years ago. Welders, electricians, carpenters, and on.

Griffin Herring used to fling his arm up after a K'ing someone. Don't know if the gesture was accompanied with words.

Russel Reynolds who yelled at the SLU coach was pretty funny.
